Namico hired the same voice actor for the same reason that Directors hire the same actors for movie their used to working with those people.
And if you notice how shitty the story mode is that they never plan to really explain.
I can spend hours explaining that Darth Vader is not Luke's father I wouldn't be right nor be wrong. It's easier to prove that is than not.
I already said that this is more then just same actress. Namco hired the same voice actress for a character they made completely look like Amy in fashion and looks. Thats whats going on here. Thats no accident.
P.S
Anyone can have a Gothic style
the skin color don't match
Eye Color is an easy change to fuck with us.
Most if not all her moves are recycled from other characters (to keep cost down on animation)
Again Viola is right handed and Amy is LEFT handed.
Actually Viola has claw on one hand but uses the bal with the other so she uses both. Maybe she has the claw on her right hand because she needs to protect it when using the left hand to control the bal?
Finally, i think Namco did this op purpose and its one more reason why i think SC5 screwed up the story.
Its the same with Talim and almost all other characters. I saw Talim costume DLC. They have the 'fortress of wind'... that together feels like they try to rub Talim players in the face with that shes not in the game.
"HAi You like Talim, ne? ok we give Talim stage but no talim ok?! Haha! You buy Talim costume DLC now, yess? No Talim as DLC, ok? Haha!"
"You like Amy character no? Ok. Amy out of SC5!!! Here new character totally like Amy could be Amy sounds like Amy but we never ever say she Amy so you dont say she Amy ok? You want Amy? Ok here Viola and here half-ass nerf rapier Raphael for no reason in game."
"You like Taki?! Great! Sc5 No Taki anywhere, here Taki apprentice! Natsu!! 2012 Teenage California Ninja!"
"You like Sophitia?! No Sophitia in SC5. Here we tease you with evil SC ghost that looks like Sophitia but isnt Haha!"
...ect ect ect
If they made a complete new cast in SC5 that would have been better then all this. All this 'almost, but not quite' replace characters is just dumb. Telling us that Patroklos 'loves' his sister and wants to 'live' with her in private was way more important then anything else.
Thank god for Character Creation.
